Talia
- For other uses of this name, see Talia (disambiguation).
Talia was the daughter of Ra's al Ghul and a hippie he met at Woodstock, Talia was raised by her father and served him in his goals to remake the Earth. Talia was a ruthless warrior, and a strong leader, but lacked the killing instinct of Ra's, and he knew it, which is why he hoped to marry her off to a worthy suitor to produce an heir.
While studying medicine at Cairo, Talia was kidnapped by an enemy of her father's, Doctor Darkk and was rescued by the Batman, and she in turn saved his life, killing Darkk. Talia fell in love with Batman, and Ra's decided that he would make a worthy husband for her, and heir to him. But things did not turn out as planned, and Ra's and Batman soon became bitter enemies, with Talia caught in the middle. But try as Batman did, he could not persuade her to betray her father.
Talia's patience with her father began to thin when he decided that the super criminal called Bane would make a worthy mate for her and decreed they would be married. But the marriage was cancelled when Batman defeated Bane. Talia's loyalty was finally shattered when Ra's ordered her to help him destroy the Justice League of America by hacking into Batman's computer. Talia betrayed her father and fled. She was later tracked down by both men, but refused to be caught up in their feud any longer.
Talia was later recruited by Lex Luthor to run Lexcorp for him when he ran for President of the United States and won, and in return she gave Luthor all the information on her father and his activities that she had. But also realizing she was working for another evil man, she began working to sabotage Luthor from inside- finally betraying him and selling off his company to Bruce Wayne.
Talia was later abducted and brain washed by her older half sister, Nyssa and used as a pawn in a revenge campaign against Ra's al Ghul. By constantly killing Talia and reviving her with a Lazarus Pit, she soon made Talia her willing servant. In the final conflict, Ra's stabbed Talia to distract Batman, while he dueled Nyssa and let her slay him. Nyssa took over her father's empire, Talia at her side, now no longer in love with Batman.
